Interesting. It looks like you have small candles which can be lit with a spark.

How well do these stay together if they're stored somewhere really warm? Like the trunk of a car in the summer? (Not that it's a bad thing if they don't store well, just wondering.)

Also... can you just smush one to expose the cotton? How difficult would it be to get enough cotton exposed if your hands are numb?

Except for run time, how do these compare to just carrying another type of tinder and a couple of candles?
